To my little peanut,
We actually got to see you last week. We had our first (and most likely last) ultrasound to see if you were healthy and moving! And you were! The midwife gave you an A+ for being so healthy. She said everything looked perfect. You looked perfect. I am so proud of you, little one. We also found out whether you were a boy or a girl. And you’re a BOY! I am beyond happy. I got my wish of a healthy baby. Keep growing in my belly, little one. You’re getting bigger (and it’s showing) and I am finally starting to feel you move and kick. While we were getting the ultrasound, we saw you flip over! You did it so quickly I didn’t know what happened. I go back and look at your images constantly. I have them on my phone, I have them hanging on the fridge. I just love the way you look. Your cute little nose and profile are so perfect. And I love your cute little feet.
Nothing much has changed for me physically, except for my cute belly is growing at a constant rate. Your daddy loves it. He loves how big you’re getting. I am also feeling you move more + more! It makes me so happy! You woke me up one time this week because you kicked so hard. You’re getting so strong. It’s so fun to see you grow.
Can you believe that we only have 18 weeks left? 18? I can’t. I can’t believe how far we’ve come! And how strong and beautiful (I mean handsome!) you are getting! Once the 18 weeks are up, we have a life time of joy and laughter ahead of us. I can’t wait for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you. You’re special, little one. You already bring so much joy to my family. You’ll see when you get here just how loved you really are.
Keep growing, little one. Keep getting stronger and bigger. Mommy and daddy can’t wait to meet you, but don’t come any sooner than 18 weeks!
I love you so much!
Love, mommy
